r/upholstery on Reddit: How to Upholster Dining Chair Backing?
March 11, 2023 -

I understand how to reupholster the seat part. That screws off and is easy. But how am I suppose to remove the backing part? I’ve tried and it seems glued on or something. Anyone have advice? There are zero videos on YouTube on how to deal with this type of backing on a Scandinavian dining chair.

I made an effort to remove some of the material on the backing to see what was holding it in place (that’s what you see in the pictures). I can’t find any screws or anything. I tried prying it loose with a screwdriver. It feels like it’s glued on real tight.

Update

I removed the padding from the top of chair and there’s no obvious way to remove the wood backing. I tried prying it away with screwdriver but it’s stuck on good. Should I just call it a day and bring in the professionals?

January 27, 2025 - Using a cardboard tack strip is not common when reupholstering chairs, but is a technique used for this frame style. Once you have the fabric positioned at the back of the seat, ensuring the backside of the fabric is facing down towards the sagless, you’ll place the tack strip over the fabric against the back edge of the seat and staple it down.

I've tried stapling the seams inside (and inserting foam after this), but can't get the gun in to do the sides, nor can I hammer any nails in. I'm stuck, and there doesn't appear to be anything in my guidance books/on youtube which explains how to fix fabric on the inside of a chair back when you don't want to affix it to the outside.
